It is an outcry against all that is humane to execute children for crimes that they confess to while being tortured, not having a lawyer, and having their witness testimony dismissed that states they acted in self defense. You will not escape judgement from this outrageous atrocity.

Please stop executing children en all other hyman beings.

Islamic regime is a murder of millions Iranian since they took power. Down with Islamic Regime

In life when you think you have gotten away with something,its not true in the end you pay for all you do!I dont know why this has gone on for soo long.The way the iran gov does is just plain evil. Somebody stop this from ever happening again.

God bless you for fighting for human rights for children. This is absolutely appalling! As a parent, I feel strongly that no child should ever be treated in such a way. This is barbaric. If Iran wants to be respected, they MUST STOP killing children. My prayers are with you. I am telling everyone I know about your vital work.

I am sick of the president of Iran? spouting of about what is not right in the world and blaming the western powers for all the ills of his Country, I knew Iran had a bad human rights history but I was shocked when I came to this web site.
God forgive them for executing children.
I did see a documentary last year where a girl was hanged brutally for having sex with an older married man, he was admonished, she was not even 16 they had falsified her age.
In this country that he condemms she would have got care and protection and the man would have got punished, no one would have been hung from the back of a truck in a ceramonial atmosphere where the accusers mostly eldery men some of them guilty of using the girl jeered at the poor girl dying slowly..

It’s so sad when men claim to be religious and use that designation to entitle themselves to behaviors in which no truly religious members of society would take a part. It happens in America, too. But no matter what these people are calling themselves, Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc, religion should never be an excuse for committing sins against humanity.

I can not find any action from the Human Rights group regarding “Ehsan Fattahian” (e.g. a petition, etc). He is scheduled to be executed on Nov. 11th in Iran Kurdestan!

this is the end of the way they call islamic rules ,the end of sharia.we are going to make all the world green and green.a world without war,pain and injustice.i am so sorry for iran leader,president and those who kill people spicially juveniles.

Iran also carries out death penalties against young people for things that do not under any circumstances , constitute crime. They routinely kill young men by hanging , who are accused of being homosexual , a state of being. Iran’s brutality is irrational and primitive. Their saving grace may be the fact that such a large percentage of their population is inder the age of twenty. Thus there may be hope for the future. The secret police , Savak , under the Shah , killed thousands of opponents. The Ayatollah Khomeinei , came to power with the promise of establishing democracry . Insead he set up a barbaric theocracy that killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iranians.

It is deplorable that the Iranian government is killing young people, and moreover, violating all of the human rights laws which we enjoy in the west. The government should yield to the people and allow a democratic government to emerge.

Such a funny post. I have not seen the Iranian government irrationally bomb and deliberately murder thousands upon thousands of non Jewish innocent civilians as the Israelis are doing in Lebanon and Palestine. Bombings that target children and include schools, air raid shelters, private homes, hospitals, etc…

Perhaps the people of Palestine and Lebanon are not human enough to be worthy of your human rights campaign / propaganda.

King Herod of the Bible executed children. He tried to stay alive on his death bed even though there was a burning flame inside his stomach, because he was more afraid of what he could see awaiting him on the other side of the veil that separates the dead from the living.

Quanta barbárie! É humanamente impossivel acreditar que em pleno desenvolvimento que o mundo chegou, ainda existe um país como esse que sacrifica, mata sem piedade as suas crianças. Isso é imoral, revoltante e impugnante! Eu tenho nojo desse sistema do Irã! Vocês cairão e arderão no fogo do inferno!!!

Religion is nothing to deal with!!

I’m researching for my English project, which involves a speech about any subject that we feel strongly about, and after reading this article, I think i’ve found it.

I myself am Iranian, currently living in the UK and knowing that this disguisting practice goes on in Iran makes me think twice about being a proud Iranian. Knowing that teenagers the same age as me are getting murdered by the governement horrifies me, and quite frankly, ashamed to be of the same nationality as those who recognise this as a just and fair practice.

Furthermore, I do not understand why nothing has been done about this – America is the most powerful country in the world, so surely they could intervene and abolish this sinister and cruel act!

Tanja,

Never lose heart. There are now millions of people across the globe standing up for those who cannot stand.

You have a chance to make your own voice heard.

I think the practice of executing minors is barbaric in Iran. the worst case I heard of was a13 year old who was executed after she had been attacked sexually by an adult male. He was give lashes, she was hanged in public.
Iran likes to try and deflect criticism by pointing out flaws in other countries but the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. leads the field in so many ways. We know their attitude to children from the Iran/Iraq war when they brainwashed children to run across land mines laid down by Saddam Hussein amongst his many abhorrent practices.
